It was in the October 17 episode of Rated K that I got to learn about another brave soul fighting for her life. Her name’s Geraldine Oliva, a native of Balayan, Batangas.
Geraldine or Dane was blessed with good looks, admirable talents, and the charm any girl would wish to have. She was known by a lot of people in her town because of these attributes. She had a career in banking industry; married his man, Mario; had four loving sons. Dane had it all. And now, she endures all the pain just to hold on to what matters to her life.
In 2004, Dane was diagnosed with Glomerulonephritis, a chronic kidney disease. A metabolic complication strucked her in 2007 while undergoing dialysis treatment. This caused her major deformities on her bones. A once beautiful woman suddenly loses her attractive physical attributes.
This photo was taken from the “Save Geraldine J. Oliva” page on Facebook. This was how Dane looked like back in 2008 and how she looks like now.
Her appearance was altered by deformities that caused painful depression on her part. But her families and friends stood by her no matter what. She was required a thrice-a-week dialysis but due to financial constraints, Dane undergoes dialysis only once a week. And if she missed having even one, it might cause her her precious life.
Mario became her backbone when her own support became feeble. It was true love put to test. I admire how Mario never stopped fighting in this battle. It must be so hard for him, just as hard as it is for Dane. May God bless this couple.
I got this update below from savegeraldine.tumblr.com. This was posted two days ago (Oct. 24, 2010).
A few days ago, a few of Geraldine’s bones were dislocated as she tried to get up from a sitting position. She has suffered insurmountable pain with any sudden movement ever since. She was confined in UST Hospital only yesterday only to be told that she cannot be confined because there was nothing else they could do except give her pain killers. The only position that she is able to be in is a lying position. If she tries to move or if anyone tries to move her, she can’t handle the pain that it gives her. Surgery is not an option for there’s a 99% fatal risk because needs to gain a lot more weight before it’s even an option. Her speech pattern is becoming more and more difficult to comprehend with each passing day.
If there was ever a time we needed your prayers, it’s right now. The doctors can’t do anything because she can’t even be moved. To those who are kindhearted and generous enough to donate a well-needed gurney so that she could be transported a little easier to various locations for her dialysis treatments, the donation would be very much appreciated.
Things are looking bad but we’re not giving up hope. Hope is last thing to go. Prayers and donations are very much appreciated. Every little word, every prayer, every thought and every cent could be vital. Please do what you can to help.
We thank you for your continued support.
It was a sad story millions of Rated K viewers had seen. But it was a beautiful sad story. We hope for the best.

I want to know the condition of Dane as of this post. Does she continuously undergoing dialysis? Does her doctors finally give a final decision on her ailment? I strongly pray for her continued recovery, may she be able to surpass this predicament she is presently facing. Please do not loose faith to our Divine Providence, WE LOVE YOU DANE!!!! From San Mateo Rizal people.
dear everyone,
Our body shall return to earth as it was, but what is important is our soul who will face the judgment before the HOLY GOD.
Have you ever wondered whether or not you are going to Heaven?
May I show you how you can know for sure that you are going to Heaven?
1n 1 John 5:13 tells us that the Bible was written so you and I can know for sure that we have eternal life.
(These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
i order to go to Heaven, we must first understandthat we are sinners. In God’s eye we are not perfect, because we are all sinners Romans 3:23. If were going to Heaven is the fact that there is penalty for our sins. Romans 6:23, and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:14. Gos tells us that because of our sins, we deserve to die. This death is separation from God in a place called the lake of fire. God does not want usto go there but that is where we are headed because our sins. Sounds like bad news, BUT, there is good news. Jesus died for our sins.Johon 3:16. Jesus did not die on the cross because He was a sinner. Jesus died on the cross to pay OUR sins. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us Romans 5:8 On the cross, Jesus paid the penalty. He died, buried and rose again from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Jesus loves us and wants us to be with Him in Heaven. John 3:16.
All we need to do is ask Him to give us this free gift of eternal life. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved Romans 10:13 Jesus said I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the FATER, but by ME John 14:6 No one else can give us eternal life Jesus is the only way.
Would you like to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and give you this gift of eternal life? Jesus tells us that in or order to get this gift of eternal life, all we need to do is ask Him for it. To ask Him means that you are trusting only Jesus to take you to Heaven, not good works, religion or anything else.Prayer: DEAR JESUS,I KNOW I’M A SINNER AND I DESERVE TO DIE AND GO THE LAKE OF FIRE, PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SINS AND TAKE ME TO HEAVEN. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
ASSURANCE LET ME ASK YOU DID YOU JUST ASK JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR? IF YOU ASKED JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR WHERE ARE YOU GOIN WHEN YOU DIE? HEAVEN OR HELL?
WHAT WAS THE GIFT OF GOD THAT JESUS GAVE YOU WHEN YOU ASKED HIM TO BE YOUR SAVIOR? IS IT ETERNAL LIFE? IF IT’S ETERNAL , HOW LONG WILL YOU HAVE THAT GIFT? ANS. FOREVER
